countiaus, met with a serious aud prob
ably fatal accident on Tuesday last. He,
with some other men, was engaged in
cutting down large apple tree. They
had it nearly sawed off, and his son placed
wedge in to throw it in the direction
desired. Mr.. Wright thought the tree
was not going to fall right and caught
hold of limb to start it. The tree sud
denly fell with a crash. Mr.. Wright
started to run but tripped and fell, and
the tree fell on him. His hip and shoul-
ders were dislocated one of his ankles
and wrist broken. He was also thought
to be injured internally. and his recovery

A Dramatic Entertainment.

Good dramatic performances are so rars y
given in Elkton, now that the Elktou Ora
matte Association is defuuct, that We hailed
with pleasure the announcement OF the visit
to our town of the A wizard Dramatic Com
pany of Philadelphia, a leading amateur
evening. The attendance at the perfor-
nance was very tiattering, considering the
threatening weather, which doubtless pre-
vented the attendance of many persons re-
siding in the country, who would otherwi ise
have fain been present. The bill for the
night consisted of the famous comedy
Every ybody's Friend in which Johu S.
Clarke made his reputation in the character
of Major Wellington DeBoots. 1t is IA do
mestic comedy in three acts. "Put Him
Out" a remarkably ludicrous afterpece
called forth great laughter and applause,
and was even better received than the other
play. Mr.. Silvers as "Roseleaf," the dude
in the afterpiece, was "simply immense,
and carried the audience by storm. Miss
Nellie Watson, young lady of peasin Z
appearance, took parts in both plays very
nicely. Lack of space prevents notice OF
the other persons in the cast separately, but
Messrs. Wallace Aylward and James and
Misses Bessie Bigelow and Lille Warren
all added to the evenings enjoyment. We
are pleased to be able to add that the per
tormance was also a success financially.

Perhaps the most important contribu-

wards proved a very popular and success-
ful mag gazine, was an original story by
Mrs Caroline L,e Heutz, whose love
stories became SO popular with emotional
juveniles, We remember in the days of
our impressible youth how We pored over
the heart rendng tale of many lovers
trials and tribulations as told by this
lady We recall how once in spasui of
senuimentalism we spent every dime we
possessed in the world to present gaudy
edition of this lady's stories of the heSrS
to gushing maiden whose bright eyes
and winsome smile had played havoc
with our own susceptible organ. We re-
| mem Der with what ANXIOUS sOlicltude we
watched the effect of this touching eqi-
dence of devotion upon the capricious
nature of the object of our boyish affec-
! ton. We expected her to shed many a
| secret tear over their love ladened pages
aud hoped while her maidenly sensibili-
share of the overlooking cash. But
the prosaic damsel refused to shed, aid
positively decided to guSh. She thought
the stories did more credit to t! Q book
binder than to the story writer, and that
she considered them sentimental

and hardhearted theu, aud years After
wards when she ran oil With and married
her own uncle, We didnt change our
opinion as to the kind of "a heart which
beat under her coisets.
SO much for what Miss Tabitha Jones
old Lady's Book recalls. 1t WAS then a
young ladies' book and So it is still. But
the world has made much progress siuce
1884. In the matter Of postage alone it
is noticeable. Then it cost seven and a
halt cents to receive number of this old
Lady 8 Book by mail. Today it costs
only penny. We cougratulat" Miss
Tabitha upon her habitual respect for old
age, even including this old magazine.
